Rear View Camera
Camera Location
Model X is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Lines show your driving path based
on the position of the steering wheel. These
lines adjust appropriately as you move the
steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors displays on the instrument panel (see
Park Assist on page 68).
Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera to
determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intendedto replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.
Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera
lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove
any buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a soft damp cloth.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

Warning: You must use the Model X trailer
hitch when towing a trailer. Never attempt
to attach a different type of trailer hitch.
To install the trailer hitch:
1. Remove the dust cover from the hitch
housing.
2. Insert the key into the locking cylinder on
the hitch, and turn the cylinder so the top of the key is aligned with the “unlocked”
position.
3. Pull the locking cylinder out of the
adapter approximately 0.5 cm, and turn
clockwise until the red marking on the
cylinder aligns with the white dot.
Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original
“Closed Position” and can pinch your fingers.4. Firmly grasp the hitch from the bottom
and align the triangular-shaped guides at
the sides of the hitch with the
corresponding cutouts in the hitch
housing.
Note: Do not grasp the locking cylinder
because it needs to rotate freely.
5. Push the hitch into the hitch housing until
the locking cylinder rotates approximately
120

2.While firmly holding the bottom of the
hitch (to prevent it from dropping to the ground), pull the locking cylinder out
approximately 0.5 cm, and turn it clockwise until the red marking on the
locking cylinder aligns with the white dot.
At this point, the locking cylinder is locked
in the "open" and the hitch drops out of
the housing.Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original
“closed" position and can pinch your fingers.
3. Reinstall the dust cover on the hitch
housing to prevent dirt from accumulating
inside the housing.
4. Close the dust cover on the hitch

brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles
or objects, especially in situations when
you are driving over 80 km/h and in situations where a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in
front of you. Always pay attention to the
road ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road

Note: Your set speed will use your current
driving speed if you move the cruise control lever up or down.
Note: If Speed Assist is unable to determine a
speed limit, your set speed does not change
when you pull the cruise control lever toward
you.Warning: Do not rely on Speed Assist or
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to determine
an accurate or appropriate cruising
speed. Always cruise at a safe speed
based on road conditions and applicable
speed limits.
Changing the Set Speed
To change the set speed while using Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control, move the cruise control
lever up (increase) or down (decrease) until
your desired set speed is displayed.
To increase/decrease speed by 1 km/h, move
the lever up or down to the first position and
release. To increase/decrease speed to the closest 5 km/h increment, move the lever up/
down to the second position and release. For
example, if you are traveling at 83 km/h and you move the lever up to the second positionand release, the speed increases to 85 km/h.
You can also increase/decrease speed by
holding the lever in the full up/down position
and releasing when the desired speed displays
below the cruise control icon.
To cruise at the speed limit that is currently
being determined by Speed Assist (including any offsets that you have set), pull the cruise
control lever toward you. See Speed Assist on
page 110.
Note: It may take a few seconds for Model X
to reach the new cruising speed, assuming
Model X does not detect a vehicle ahead
driving slower than your set speed.
Overtake Acceleration
When following a vehicle with Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control active, brie

never depend on Overtake Acceleration
to increase your driving speed.Warning: Overtake Acceleration increases
your driving speed whenever the
appropriate turn signal is engaged, and
accelerates Model X closer to the vehicle
ahead. Although Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control continues to maintain distance
from the vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that your selected following
distance is reduced when Overtake
Acceleration is active, particularly in cases
where it may not be your intention to
overtake the vehicle you are following.
Canceling and Resuming
To manually cancel Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control, brie

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model X in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model X around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

Auto Lane Change
Warning: Auto Lane Change is designed
to be used only when driving on
restricted-access highways (i.e. with on-
ramps and off-ramps).
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced
Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capabilitypackages, you can use Auto Lane Change to
move Model X into an adjacent lane. When
both Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer are active, Auto Lane Change intelligently assists you in steering Model X
into an adjacent driving lane. Using the
forward looking camera(s), the radar sensor,
and ultrasonic sensors, Model X detects lane
markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
restricted-access highways with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable
circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver

Note: Auto Lane Change assists in moving
Model X one lane at a time. Moving into an
additional lane requires you to engage the
turn signal a second time after the first lane
change is complete.Warning: If Auto Lane Change aborts
during a lane change (for example, Auto
Lane Change cannot detect the outside
of the target lane midway through the
lane change), Model X returns to its
original driving lane.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you and
the surrounding area. Stay prepared to take
over steering at any time. As you are crossing
over into the adjacent lane, the instrument
panel displays the lane marking as a dashed
blue line. Once in your new lane, lane markings
are displayed as solid blue lines again.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
cannot operate due to inadequate data, the
instrument panel displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively assisting in steering Model X, the steering wheel moves accordingly.
Although you must have your hands on
the steering wheel, any significant
restriction of or force on the steering wheel

Note: Summon can move Model X a short
distance laterally to avoid an obstacle but in
doing so, does not return the vehicle to its driving path (i.e. Summon does not attempt tomove Model X around an obstacle).Warning: Summon is unable to operate as
intended if the ultrasonic sensors are
obstructed by a vehicle bra, excessive
paint, or adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).Warning: Model X cannot detect
obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow (i.e. bicycles), or
are hanging from a ceiling. In addition,
many unforeseen circumstances can impair Summon
